Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2010-06-12

The need of USB hubs on the market is rising, because we are using more and more USB hardware devices like USB flash drives, USB external sound cards, printers, 5.1 headphones and the list could continue. ROCCAT have developed a very nice looking USB hub with an integrated mouse bungee, that holds the mouse cable for you and this way it will not get in your way when you game.

Product description

The first component of the ROCCAT™ Smart Desktop Management System (SDMS) offers you the perfect combination of style and functionality right there on your desktop. The Apuri won’t just power your USB devices; among other things it’ll also bring new order to your desktop by taking control of your mouse cable.

USB PORTS ALWAYS WITHIN REACH

The Apuri combines stability and practically in the way it takes over the job of managing your devices and cables on the desktop. The Apuri’s AC adapter delivers sufficient power to supply its USB ports with a total power of 2A – allowing you to connect up to four power-hungry USB devices without data loss. And if you don’t want to use the AC adapter, you can simply power the hub using the supplied USB cable.

Sufficient power is always available in passive use – perfect for cell phones, cameras and other devices which don’t require their own separate AC adapter. The Apuri allows you to connect everything so it’s within reach, saving you the hassle of crawling around under the desk looking for ports and from the untidiness of cables hanging over the edge of the desk.

SMOOTH GAMING

Thanks to the flexible mouse bungee, the mouse cable in particular is optimally catered for. It is simply guided away from the mouse’s gliding area so that it doesn’t get in the way during game play. There won’t be any rubbing on the desktop or snagging of the cable on the edge of the desk to interfere with your gaming experience – you can even adjust the length of the cable to suit, and the flexible arm optimally flexes with your movements.

You’ll feel as if you’re using a wireless mouse, without the inherent disadvantages such as increased weight, sudden need to change batteries or long charging times. If you don’t want to use the mouse bungee, it can simply be detached from the hub. .

STYLE AND ATMOSPHERE

Contrary to many conventional hubs, which live out their existence as boring boxes, the ROCCAT™ Apuri adds style to your desktop. The unique tripod design gives the Apuri stability even during tense gaming situations.

The design fits perfectly with ROCCAT’s new ‘stealth’ style series. Beveled edges and futuristic lines give the hub a unique look. The top features three ice blue LEDs while the base boasts an illuminated ROCCAT logo, which will cast an atmospheric aura onto your desktop.
